Maybe it is not all caused by CC
It is a common thread that multiple anthropogenic stressors, including climate change, have more-than-additive effects. In other words, many climate change-related problems would be mild if not for other stuff we do.
See, e.g., 10:07 here for savannization of the Amazon: https://www.ted.com/talks/johan_rockstrom_the_tipping_points_of_climate_change_and_where_we_stand?subtitle=en
In the case of flamingoes, it is probably land use change as well.
Mid-winter, there is usually quite some wind. See the graph in the link.
There are challenging moments, though. But storage for weeks, not months, might be robust enough.

Well, there is something to it, and I think we talk about different parties.
Moderaterna, who have the PM, are just classic libs (though there is the true neoliberal Liberalerna in the ruling coalition as well). They are in the EPP, for those who follow European politics. Their program is, tbh, like that of the Democrats under Biden and Kamala. This is where the minister comes from. I think you mean them.
Now, to get a majority in the government, Moderaterna (and two other parties) made a deal (Tidö avtalet) with Sverigedemokraterna. They are not in the government, but the government made an agreement with Sverigedemokraterna, vowing to implement some of their program in exchange for their support in the parliament. I call them far-right. They are in the ECR (European Conservatives and Reformists) in the European Parliament. Their main thing is being against migration. Generally, you could compare them to Trump vol. 1.
I understand why others might think this is not far right. I come from Poland, the two largest parties come from EPP and ECR, and they are followed by even further right. Similarly, Sverigedemokraterna is not as far right as, for example, AfD in Germany. Or as Trump vol. 2. But others going even crazier does not exclude Sverigedemokraterna from the far-right.
Swedish government be like:
Officially endorse far-right party
Push xenophobic agenda
A mentally sick person organizes the largest school shooting in the country, targeting specifically migrants >
Youth joins far-right groups
That includes a son of a ministry working on how to deport as many migrants as possible, making visa process as painful as possible, even for high-skill workers
But WHY?!!?
Good to see some institutions reminding that the war did not start in 2022…
Surely not alone ;)
Hasn’t Italy already been locking migrants in Albania for more than a year now…
Yes. European countries were among the early adopters and developers of wind and solar. Now, renewables have become the most affordable option. But, for ideological reasons, many European countries no longer want to deploy renewables, despite their affordability.
We sowed the seeds but do not want to reap the rewards.
So cool! I would also love to see a day train from Malmö/Stockholm to somewhere in Germany ‿
